Yowah is known for it's unique and distinctive matrix opal and much sought after "Yowah Nut" opal.

The opal field itself is quite small, about 2.5 square miles. In this extremely harsh and arid section of Queensland, where the only reliable water comes from the Artesian Basin, hundreds of feet underground, the finest gem quality opal are sometimes found.

Yowah opal's have become world renowned for its beautiful picture stone, Yowah Nut (kernal of crystal) and ironstone matrix opal.

The electric blues and green's encased in ironstone (hemitite) are some of the most magnificent patterns ever created by nature, which no laboratory produced stone's can ever match.
